I also remember we would sometimes trail lighter fuel all around the studio, across the desks and drawing boards, then set light to it. It burnt off of course without causing any damage but luckily I was stopped from setting light to my glasses which I was still wearing after a drunken pub visit.

Btw, do you remember the NABS and directing the naked woman for photographs? I doubt that would happen today.

Re: what kind of adhesive

Did you know that the adhesive used on PostIts was an accidental bi-product of research into developing the first superglue needed by NASA?

I don't recall any of that but similar pranks when using the previously mentioned SprayMount or perhaps another similar aerosol adhesive. That could be stood on a bench, the spray button pressed then the spray ignited if a cigarette lighter was placed beneath it. Rather dangerous as it goes but short bursts were quite spectacular. Usually this brought roars of laughter from those already 'off their heads' on the 'funny stuff', a common occurrence in that 'arty' world!

Would the link below be the NABS organisation you mentioned? I hadn't heard of this one before:
